is to fast for Lent. Fast.
what exactly do they mean by Fast?
are we supposed to stop eating altogether, for forty days?
or, as when we were kids, do we give up meat?
at today's' prices, and given the fashion, giving up meat doesn't
seem much of a sacrifice. maybe giving up on bread will do.
giving up bread would be the hardest, most tortuous of Fasts.
AND, i'm certain to lose in the bread basket department.
hmmmm . . .
but then, there's the WWJD aspect. aren't fish and bread religious food?
a strict diet of fish and bread? nah. fast food joints with their fish sandwhiches would save in a pinch, but the lack of veggies over forty days is sure to create some sort of go to hospital-type emeregency.
fish and chips would prep me for a trip to London, but its the same as the fish and bread thingy.

Fish and chips, now you're talking. There's a nice chippie just down the road from us here which I wouldn't give up on for anything in the world. :-)
